OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Artist and research Gary Zhexi Zhang will give a talk exploring systemic connections between cosmology, technology and economy.
He will examine identity and individuation in the economy of digital life, beginning with the bodies of parasocial, transindividual agency that populate the internet we have come to know, and into the time of artificial intelligences that meet humans at the threshold of their own incomprehensibility. What forms of subjectivity emerge from the pandemonium of cognitive assemblages, generative realities and artificial agents LARPing as humans as well as machines? Drawing on techno-cultural histories and contemporary developments, Gary Zhexi Zhang explores the predicaments of neural media.
